Somebody was me.
My "IIRC"(if I recall correctly) qualifie the 75m, and I did not recall correctly.
Checked just now in Pistole Parabellum, green edition, volume II, Page 1059.

Original "zero" was 80 to 110 meters; and in 1913 orders were given to install a front sight blade to
correspond to 50m, as Norm said.

The sight was changed at the same time the hold open was added; the front sight was also marked with a crown/letter "inspection" mark by Erfurt, as was the frame where the pin for the
hold open was added.
